Yes, from my notes:

To prevent Firefox from stealing Thunderbird focus when clicking on a 
link in an e-mail:

XFCE Settings > Window Manager Tweaks
Focus
Honor standard ICCCM focus hint Leave this checked.
Then check "Do nothing"

Stops Firefox from taking the Thunderbird window when a link is clicked 
on. It opens a tab
in Firefox and puts it there. Then just look at the new tab in Firefox 
when you want to see the link.


I didn't note who sent me that or where I found it but it works for me. 
It's just one of the things I do routinely when setting up a new install.
